Abstract

Therapeutic clown intervention in art therapy is applied to reduce the level of anxiety and stress and has a positive effect especially on children.In this respect, it was aimed to determine the effect of therapeutic clown intervention on mental health in children by using systematic compilation method and to investigate the randomized controlled studies in order to find out what kind of studies are needed in this field.

The database research was performed in English and Turkish using keywords and synonyms for them. 13 studies were included in this study.

Özet

Sanat terapisi içinde yer alan terapötik palyaço müdahalesi, anksiyete ve stres düzeyini azaltmak için uygulanıyor olup, özellikle çocuklar üzerinde olumlu etki göstermektedir. Bu doğrultuda, sistematik derleme yöntemi kullanılarak terapötik palyaço müdahalesinin çocuklarda ruh sağlığına etkisini belirlemek ve bu alanda ne tür çalışmalara gereksinim olduğunu ortaya çıkarmak için randomize kontrollü çalışmaların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Sciencedirect, EBSCO Host, Pubmed, Ulakbim, Türk Tıp Dizini ve Google Akademik veri tabanları kullanılarak tarama yapılmıştır. Tarama, Türkçe ve İngilizce dilinde belirlenen anahtar sözcükler ve bu sözcüklerin eş anlamlıları kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamına 13 çalışma dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmaya alınan çalışmaların hepsi randomize kontrollü çalışmalardır. Araştırmalarda farklı ölçüm araçları kullanılmıştır. Müdahalenin çocuklarda anksiyete ve stres düzeyini aza indirgediğini, tedaviye uyumu arttırdığı ve yalnızca çocuk değil bakım vericiler üzerinde de olumlu etki yarattığı saptanmıştır. Ülkemizde palyaço müdahalesine yönelik çalışmalar yetersiz olup, bu alana özgü farklı örneklem gruplarıyla deneysel ve niteliksel çalışmaların yapılmasına gereksinim vardır.
